  Well… Don’t leave us hanging!

  Did the instructions work? You’d think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone… Because of the hinge.

    LMFAO!

    Want a quick way to inflate a foldable phone, stab it with a screwdriver. Don’t mind the smoke and fire, that’s just part of the process 🔥👍

    Here ya go, this is what Google AI gave me…

    How to inflate a foldable phone?

    *Make sure your phone is turned off and that the battery is fully charged.

    • Find the inflation port on your phone. It is usually located on the bottom edge of the phone.
    • Connect the inflation hose to the inflation port.
    • Turn on the inflator and start inflating the phone.
    • Once the phone is fully inflated, disconnect the inflation hose and turn off the inflator.
    • Your phone is now ready to use.

    Please note that this is just a general tutorial. The specific steps may vary depending on the model of your phone. Always consult your phone’s user manual for more specific instructions. Here are some additional tips:

    • Use a slow and steady stream of air when inflating your phone.
    • Do not over-inflate your phone. This could damage the phone.

    If you have any problems inflating your phone, consult your phone’s manufacturer or a qualified technician.

      Haha, that’s amazing.

      Guess I need to go buy “an inflator” 🤣

      What Google’s response actually looks like:

      It sounds like there might be a misunderstanding about how foldable phones work!

      Foldable phones are not inflated. They are highly sophisticated electronic devices with a flexible screen and a complex hinge mechanism that allows them to bend or fold.

      Here’s how they generally work:

      • Flexible Display: Unlike traditional smartphones with rigid glass screens, foldable phones use flexible OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or AMOLED displays. These displays are built on a plastic or polyimide substrate, which is much more flexible and can bend without breaking.
      • Hinge Mechanism: This is a crucial component. Manufacturers like Samsung, Google, Huawei, and others have developed intricate hinge designs (often involving multiple interlocking gears) that allow the phone to fold and unfold smoothly and precisely. The hinge is designed to be durable and withstand thousands of folds.
      • Software Optimization: The operating system (usually Android) is optimized to adapt to the different screen states. When the phone is folded, it functions like a compact smartphone. When unfolded, the software seamlessly adjusts the interface to take advantage of the larger, tablet-like screen, enabling multitasking and enhanced viewing experiences.
      • Materials: While the core display is flexible, manufacturers often use ultra-thin glass (UTG) or specialized flexible plastic layers on top for improved scratch resistance and a more premium feel.

      So, to be clear, you don’t “inflate” a foldable phone like a balloon. You simply unfold it to reveal the larger screen, and fold it back up for a more compact form factor.
